Test Overview & Methodology
The Influenza A & H3N2 RNA Qualitative Test is a highly specific molecular assay that detects viral RNA from seasonal Influenza A, including the H3N2 subtype, directly from respiratory specimens. This enables clinicians to distinguish acute viral infection from other respiratory pathogens with absolute precision.
| Feature | Our Test (RNA Qualitative) | Rapid Antigen Test (Closest Alternative) |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | Real‑Time PCR & Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) | Immunochromatographic (lateral flow) |
| Diagnostic Sensitivity | 99.9% (near-zero false negatives) | 50–70% (high false‑negative risk) |
| Turnaround Time | Phone result in 24 h, full report in 36 h | 15–30 minutes on‑site |
| Subtype Identification | H3N2 & Influenza A confirmed | Influenza A/B only; no subtyping |
| Regulatory Recognition | DHA & ISO 9001:2015 certified | CE‑marked, lower clinical approval |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"Molecular confirmation of Influenza A/H3N2 enables timely antiviral therapy within the critical 48-hour window. However, clinical judgment remains paramount—a negative result does not fully rule out infection in high-probability cases. Always consult your healthcare provider before modifying any prescribed treatment."
— Dr. Ajay Singh, General Practitioner, DHA Lic. 36234132
Advisory & Exclusion Criteria
- Do NOT undergo testing if you have a known severe bleeding disorder (e.g., haemophilia, INR >3.0) without prior physician clearance, or significant anatomical obstruction of the nasal passage.
- Emergency warning signs (seek immediate medical attention, do not wait for test results): severe difficulty breathing, bluish lips or face, chest pain, confusion, or inability to stay awake.
- Inform the phlebotomist of any recent nasal surgery or anticoagulant use; the clinician may recommend an alternative throat swab if appropriate.
